Five ingredient lunch + hot sauce

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

Lunches should be quick to prepare and not too heavy, otherwise your productive afternoon turns into a majestic desk nap. Here is what I had today. Fried noodles with lots of veggies and very little other ingredients.

Another Lunch: Green Curry Creamed Potatoes, Beans, Peanuts with Spinach, Peas and Onions

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!


Would I even consider this a real recipe? No. It's just the panic-y "I don't want to go grocery shopping - what's left in pantry and freezer?" meal. But you never know if anyone can is it as inspiration! After all, it's a quick and easy lunch.

New Cheese Sauce - almost healthy! (gluten-free)


Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!


I already have a really neat nacho cheese sauce recipe that is based on a very basic roux, but I am always happy to try something new. And this sauce is different, but equally awesome - and it's based on puréed veggies! And it's gluten-free for those of you who need to watch out for your wheat/gluten intake. Aaand it's soy-free, too. Both options are only true if you don't decide to use things like oat milk (gluten) or soy milk (ha! contains soy! ^^).

Many thanks to camslinger.de for helping me cook and taking the photo.

Facon - Your Homemade Fake Bacon

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!


A lot of people out there consider eating bacon a religion... or at least they treat it in a similar way. So I thought about what makes bacon so tasty. It's fat, salt, roasted protein and smoke flavor. Well, it sure wasn't too difficult to put all of that into a vegan product. It's pretty easy, too! Here is how to get your facon!


Avocado and facon sandwich? Yes, please!

Another Lunch: Mushrooms, Broccoli, and Almonds

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!


I don’t really have a name for this dish. It’s just one of those “I had mushrooms and wanted to have lunch” type of recipes where you look for things in your kitchen that might work well together. So I made fried onions and cremini mushrooms in an almond butter sauce on garlic mashed potatoes with pan fried almond broccoli.

Hummus Vinaigrette

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!




My love for home made hummus is great. Great enough to consider using it as the base for a salad dressing. And it made one creamy, beautiful vinaigrette for my quinoa veggie salad!

Healthy Snack: Tandoori Masala Chickpeas

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept: 

I am still surfing on the wave of New Year's Resolutions... and needed a quick snack. I have to admit, although I enjoy a bit of cake and desserts every not and then, I am more of a salty snacker. Salted pistachios, potato chips, smoked tofu, ... that sort of thing. And since I love spices and chickpeas, I made a spicy chickpea snack. It's super easy!
